First Frank movements .... I used 2008 Rig ... Mark.... I have a question ... the weights aren't properly copied to left side ( compare joints in the right and left elbow ) ... what could cause this ? walk.mov

Great character Myron, I would not do better .... you should try using AO / IBL to enhance the look of the scene

Brilliant set Mark ... well done.... Do we use just ext cam ( binocular ) ? Or cam I use a personal cam inside the building ( between start/end shot ) ?

Thanks David.... checking it

David ... Your solution is simplest and worked very well.. can you show how are cps linked to bones ?

Jake, David ... watch it please frank_rig_test.mov

I didn't like the first version of Frank so I decided to innovate. The concept is, since the principle, to be a short with cartoon style so I finally decided what will be the design of modeling. It will be based on the new model of Frank. Characters, scenes, objects and props will have the same language. The rig proccess will be more complicated but I think that the result will be nice. What do you think about it ?

Happy Birthday Luuk !!!!!!

I believe that the Frank is ready to be rigged ...

oh yes ... thank you Jason ....

thanks Robert ...

Hi Jason ... about the tutorial ... Do you intend to put it back ?

amazing ..... congratulations Tore

Are you Trying to render as wireframe or shaded wireframe ?? Shaded Wire have Polys per Patch ...

Adjust it using PAGE UP / PAGE DOWN

Hi Jason .. here is my attempt ... glass.zip glass_cho.mov glass.mov

Done ... Robert .. did you update report ?

I set the visual effects of windows for a better performance instead of a better appearence (in the practice I turned off the aero). The problem seems gone. Can you check this Robert ? Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Performance settings -> Visual effect .. Adjust for best performance

64 bits ... doesn´t matter if AO is on or off this is my bet too ... I don't remember to have this problem in XP

Robert .... seems to work here too let's report it ?

at least it isn't a Brazilian curse It happens with all kind of render settings Here is another shot .. now using V15 ( at home ) ... Very simple scene .. no hair, no particles .. just two balls and the same curse ...it freezes in the 5 seconds too but the system restoring is faster 5sec.mov

Here is the curse in course 5sec.mov

Amazing job David .....

SOLUTION IN THIS POST Hi friends ... sometimes (50-50) when I use Render Mode ( Q ) the A:M freezes exactly on the 5 seconds of rendering .... sometimes it back but mostly I need to kill the proccess. This happens in both version V15 (home) and V16 (office) in two distincts computers ( both running windows 7/Nvidia ). someone else ?

I redid the splines on the shoulder area, seeking for a best result in the animation
